I think it is safe to say that Thermaltake has done well with this ToughPower 700W power supply. It certainly had no problem with the testing and I must say that I truly tried to make the power supply fail. Hundreds of 3DMark runs were made and endless hours of gaming couldn't budge any rail on this power supply. The compact size also makes this power supply an easy choice for any system build.

Watercooling a CPU or a graphics card is nothing out of the ordinary these days. With the arrival of Core 2 Duo, people have started to put emphasis on cooling their chipset too, in order to achieve higher overclocks. As if Thermaltake was expecting this, they released a new chipset block, the Aqua Brazing W3, designed to cool almost any chipset on today's market.

With the Big Typhoon, Thermaltake has added another great cooling solution the their stable of products available to PC enthusiasts. If you want good performance with minimum noise, this may be the cooler for you. The orientation of the fan also provides beneficial airflow under the large umbrella of the Big Typhoon, a big plus for this design.

In my opinion, the W2 is a great block for people who run SFF systems or for those who have watercooling geared towards silence. The first group of users will truly value the size of the block. Most GPU blocks out on the market are much larger, and usually occupy two slots. Where space is scarce, the W2 offers an undeniable benefit. The latter group will be impressed, as the block is reliable, doesn't leak, and is easy to set up. Of course, it doesn't make any sound either, so you can enjoy a completely silent PC.

The Thermaltake Mozart TX is one of the biggest PC cases ever made. It has so much space that you can put two systems into it. You have five drive bays and seven 3.5" bays, a total of ten fans can be installed into this case which seems like a great candidate to be fit with water cooling. We test the silver, all aluminum version of this $300 monster case.

The Mini Typhoon is a great cooler and sure to be a hit with overclockers as my CPU was overclocked by 30% and I still got these stunning results. I think this comes down to the design of the typhoon as it stand quite high which keeps the heat away from the CPU but this is just my theory, whatever the reason the typhoon is sure to be one of the best air coolers on the market to date. Not everything is great about this package though, I am a little disappointed with the satellite fans, this is not because they look bad but because of the noise, they produce. It is quite shocking when you remove the power from them and hear the difference, unfortunately, I do not have a dBA monitor but with one, you would surely find a major noise increase.

I was looking for a new case was the Thermaltake Armor which we reviewed back in April. When doing some research, I found out that Thermaltake just released a new case, based on the Armor... called the Kandalf. The Kandalf appears to be the exact same as the Armor but with a different front. Will this different face prove to be better or is there more difference than just the front of the case? Let?s find out?

With flood waters rising in the wake of Core Duo, AMD has been
forced to shore up the dike by slashing prices on desktop CPUs faster
then Edward Sissor Hands. AMD processors are flying off the selves and
need decent heatsinks. Enter Thermaltake's RX-K8 Silent Boost.

Are you looking to delve into the world of water cooling, but don't know where to start? Danger Den has sent us a slew of products to get our rig up and running, including the new AMD TDX block. Since this is also my first high-end water cooling rig, I relay my experiences to you.

All things considered I cannot fault the Thermaltake Purepower600. It has taken everything I can throw at it under normal use, and then some with the above testing, and it has never missed a beat. Anyone building all but a seriously powerful top end multi graphics card pc should consider this power supply. I would only hesitate to recommend it to someone using multiple graphics cards if they are using dual 1900xt's or maybe 7900gtx's anyone else should consider buying this power supply for their new / upgraded system, I am sure you will not be disappointed...

Thermaltake with its well known Aquabay series has added a HDD water cooler to its list of offerings for their water cooling kits. The new cooler is dubbed the M4 which is the next number in line for the Aquabay series. With the addition of this new HDD water cooler it opens a new debate as well "Do I really need to water cool my HDD?" We'll try to answer that question as we review the Thermaltake Aquabay M4...

Want to water cool your VGA card easily without spending a fortune? The Tide Water from Thermaltake is a compact unit with plug and play installation. We power up the mini pump and cool our test VGA card to see if it can keep it cool when overclocked, and comparing it to another popular third party heatsink. Read on...

Thermaltake have made a great case, unfortunately they have made it so that any DFI owner who chooses to use DFI's audio module (and there are a lot of us) can't use a rear fan, on the inside of the case anyway. This is a crying shame, I want to like this case so much, for anyone not using DFI motherboards I would recommend this case in a second, but for DFI owners using the Karajan I have to say it's a no no. Don?t worry if you have Watercooling though, as a 120mm radiator will fit at the back, just not with the Karajan module...
